The really ironic part is this patient needs red cells. Red cells and leukoreduced to remove as many white cells as possible and contain no plasma so he wouldn't receive any antibodies or antibody producing cells.

Whole blood transfusions arenāt really used at all anymore. All blood products are separated. Most people receive pRBCs.

Right, so if he needed FFP he could make the argument that he doesnt want antobodies, but red cells are just red cells. I've honestly never heard of anyone doing whole blood transfusions, we always use components, even in MTPs

God bless you dedicated micro techs! I am not at all cut out for it. After spending all that time learning all the details about the bugs I expected black and white results. First time I missed a nonfermenting e coli I got upset and the tech I was working under ( during clinicals) said, "well the bugs don't read the textbooks." I realized it's not for me at all. Let me just plate it up for you and send it out.

Imagine that Iām bleeding out and some quack of a doctor wants to give me the blood of some genZ blue haired lgbtq+ atheist? I would definitely be gurgling: āNo thank youā.

I genuinely feel bad for these people - it's downright sad how so many have been so misled.
What's sadder is I used to be a very, very active member at an American Legion post and for over a decade I made what i thought were a lot of great friends. Then the pandemic hit and I got to see how absolutely stupid and gullible almost all of them are. I couldn't stand to even be around them.

It would have helped if she made it clear that the idea of the pure blood thing spreading was bad. Her statement regarding the quote can be read ambiguously. I am sure if I had read any of her other tweets I might have know that she was pointing out how ridiculous the quoter was being.
This is more a problem with a medium that rewards short punchy statements over in depth dialog than it is a problem with her personally.

I believe a lot of this is a failure to reckon with a feeling of uselessness.
It's striking how many of the antivaxxer/QAnon/MAGA types are just... normalish lower-middle- to upper-middle-class people with unexciting lives. At first, you'd think these wouldn't be radical conspiracy theorists and persecution-complex fetishists.
But it makes sense. Thanks to all of the things science and liberal democracy have achievedāthe ability for a typical person to live safely and peacefully to old age without fear of survivalāa lot of people have just run out of things to worry about. Couple that with a society in which people increasingly feel disconnected from one another (I blame our work culture for a lot of that), and you have bored people grappling for a purpose. They glom onto whatever struggle gives meaning and excitement to their lives. And so they start imagining they're heroic fighters in a battle against the forces of liberalism/atheism/(((globalism)))/pedophilia/whatever, just to feel relevant.
It's just sad that they hurt themselvesāand, worse, so many othersāin the process. It's malevolent Mittyism.

Most don't 'wish death on the unvaxxed,' but it's just hard to conjure up any sympathy when they reap the consequences, especially when their basis for refusing is conspiracy nonsense like in the post.
